Lauren Graham May Be Getting a Role in 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'

Lauren Graham and Amy Sherman-Palladino have a bond that spans from Stars Hollow to New York City and beyond. Case in point: Sherman-Palladino, who created and executive produced Gilmore Girls, recently said in an interview that Lorelai Gilmore would like to be involved in her latest project, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

“I gotta get my girl Lauren on the show,” Sherman-Palladino told The Hollywood Reporter. “I want to have her on it.” And you don't spend seven seasons plus a revival as Sherman-Palladino's star actor and BFF without picking up some writing and directing tips; Graham reportedly has some ideas when it comes to her part. “Lauren wants to be something very specific,” Sherman-Palladino said. “She has it all figured out.”

The first season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, currently streaming on Amazon, stars Rachel Brosnahan as the title character, Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1950s Jewish housewife whose life is uprooted when her husband leaves her for his secretary. She becomes a stand-up comedian, which sounds like exactly the type of person that the fast-taking, coffee-drinking single mom Lorelai would get along with. The second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, set to begin filming in March 2018, will find Brosnahan and Alex Borstein (who plays Midge's manager, Susie, and had her share of cameos on Gilmore Girls back in the day) embarking on a traveling comedy show.

And it seems Mrs. Maisel is just as big of a fan of Graham. Brosnahan revealed that she reached out to Graham before production of season one began to get advice on how exactly to master Sherman-Palladino's signature dialogue-heavy style. In response Graham said, “You’re an incredible actor, @RachieBros. Funny and luminous. You don’t need my advice.” Let's get these three together already and start production!
